Stop using Google already ffs!

Have my second pc on running Linux mint for about half a year now and it’s been a pleasure so far.

I think I’ll be prepared to switch over fully in a year.

So fucking refuse to switch over to 11

STOP 👏 USING 👏 GOOGLE 👏

Don’t connect the wifi and use an external device. Have no issues with my now lobotomized screen.

Or just use the sensibly placed identical lamp that’s next to his wife.

The only reason that lamp is positioned there is to sell that product.

A “smart device” is something that doesn’t need a pc in it AT ALL.

“Smart devices” are for stupid people.

A fucking shithead of a human.

Because they can. There are no laws stopping them.

This isn’t tech news, it’s a social media ad.

Taking bets on how long before Musk sues them.

With the subtlety and nuance I’ve come to expect from someone clutching their pearls and yelling: “Won’t somebody think or the children!”

You live in a fantasy world if you think you have control over how other people live and reproduce.

You also have no say on controlling how people access information on the internet.

You only have control over yourself and your own children and fuck I hope you don’t reproduce, cause your ignorant ass would have child services called so quickly, cause you clearly wouldn’t be a good parent just like you described.

That’s why child protective agencies exist. To take away children from unfit homes.

You didn’t answer my question and reflected it back on me. Do you have children?

Cause clearly you don’t understand what’s a parent’s responsibility is.

No single entity needs control over who does or doesn’t have access to the internet and you don’t need to control the parenting of others.

That’s call being a dictator.

Yes it’s called installing blockers on your children’s devices or controlling their access to the internet till an age that you personally are ok with your child accessing the internet. Teaching them critical thinking and internet literacy would go a long way as well.

How about instead of getting triggered that your corporate daddy isn’t nannying humanity, go out and put some effort into parenting your own children and teaching them better?

Do you even have kids or are you just getting offended?

You need to understand privacy laws and understand it’s the fucking parents responsibility to protect their kids from things they don’t want them to see.

You are getting into the territory of thought policing and need to learn to think before using “your better judgment” to control other people.

Bet you’re fine with using government IDs for porn sites as well. 🤦‍♂️

The internet was better when everyone was just a random username and people didn’t use their real names for everything.

Still might want to monitor how many packets the tv sends back to Google and block them.

No duh, look at the pathetic owner.

What is anyone that’s still on that bot filled shit platform expecting?

Close your account already. Mastodon is right there.

The one article that’s popped up in months of nothing. There was a larger response from people when it was something they saw as worthless using large quantities of power compared to the “helpful ai” that’s consuming the power now.

Shows that it never was about the environment in the first place. Hypocrites.
